DAVID CROWDER*BAND DEBUT AT #11 ON BILLBOARD TOP 200 ALBUM CHART WITH FIFTH ALBUM ‘CHURCH MUSIC’; U.S. TOUR KICKS OFF

Press Release Content:

DAVID CROWDER*BAND had a huge first week with their new album CHURCH MUSIC. Their fifth album was released September 22 via sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records and entered at #11 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart and achieved the #1 position on the Christian Retail Chart. Hailed as “…progressive electronic rock influenced by Radiohead, Linkin Park, Sigur Ros and others (USAToday.com, 9/18/09),” CHURCH MUSIC follows the band’s previously released four studio albums which have sold over one million copies combined.

"It was fantastic to see that everyone's excitement surrounding this release is seemingly equal to ours,” responded Crowder to the news of the album’s success. “We have been beside ourselves waiting for this thing to get out and are humbled and thrilled by the response and support."

The 17 compelling tracks on CHURCH MUSIC may not be what you expect sonically when you think of one of Christian music’s leading bands. The album even includes a unique cover of hard rock act Flyleaf’s hit “All Around Me,” and features Flyleaf lead singer Lacey Mosely and the Dupree sisters from Eisley singing background vocals on various tracks

During their last major tour in support of 2007’s Remedy, the band sold out nineteen large clubs across the country including notable venues like New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, The Wiltern in Los Angeles and The Fillmore in San Francisco. Look for the six-piece–known for their mix of ambient and infectious electro-rock—back on the road as their nationwide fall tour hits intimate venues across the U.S. They are also set to headline Terminal 5 in New York City on November 13.
